Chen Dao was from Runan Commandery (汝南郡), which covers parts of present-day southern Henan.
[2][3] Chen Dao served under the Shu Han state, founded by Liu Bei, during the Three Kingdoms period.
In the early Jianxing era (223–237) of Liu Shan's reign, he was appointed General Who Attacks the West (征西將軍) and Army Protector (護軍), and awarded the title of a village marquis (亭侯).
Zhuge Liang reassured him that the one in charge of military affairs was Chen Dao, who previously served as the leader of Liu Bei's bodyguards, the "White Feather Soldiers" (白毦兵), which was one of the most elite units in the Shu army at the time.
